The Postal Service continues to look at all areas of its business with an eye to becoming more efficient and cost effective. At the same time, its commitment to customer service remains a top priority.

With this in mind, the Postal Service over the past few weeks has invited customers to attend Plant Verified Drop Shipment (PVDS) webinars that touch on bulk mail and drop-ship acceptance for 2010.

PCC members who have not yet attended a PVDS webinar can take part in a one this Thursday. Join Pritha Mehra, vice president, Business Mail Entry and Payment Technologies, and Vincent DeVito, vice president, Controller, for a discussion of improvements coming this year. A question-and-answer session will follow.

Here's how to attend the 90-minute webinar Thursday, March 4, at 2 p.m. ET:
